It's shopping day!!! WHEE!

So stupid me went to shop around Popular when Bene was late (AGAIN) and insisted that he wasn't. Then I went to get this roll of brown paper which is 34'' long, so approximately 85cm, and walked around the whole day holding it. Damn. I shouldn't have gotten it at the first stop. And I went to buy stickers again. I guess all my pay went to buying stickers...

Shopping with Bene is like shopping with another girlfriend, or even more than that. He spent such a looooooonnnnnggg time in the CD shop which sells CDs and DVDs at half price and decided NOT TO BUY!!! =P He said he got to save.

Bene shopped around BHG, looking for boxers. Apparently BHG has lots of boxer sales, like Hush Puppies, Renoma and Goldlion. After which Bene decided that Goldlion's boxers are a little obiang, he decided to get the Hush Puppies one. He told me they're comfortable like I'd wear them. =P And BHG was having sales at the opening space on Level 1, with cheap shoes and clothings. The printed dresses are nice and $14.90, some $9.90.

I bought this pair of bronze slippers, which cost $19.90 from Mondo, and which Bene likes it so much I said I allow him to wear if he wants to. Haha. Anyway, there's like a 20% off storewide and an additional 10% for members, so my slippers only cost $15.90 after discount. Which obviously, I won't buy if there's no discount. Who ever will pay $19.90 for a pair of slippers? Whoever wants to buy shoes, let's go together the next time round because a membership can be done at $49.90. Considering my nature, I'd buy 3 pairs of cheapo shoes. So anyone who wants to buy cheapo shoes can buy with me and we'll get a free membership! But on the other hand, I rarely buy stuffs from Mondo, so it's a little pointless too. Bleh.

Then I bought two pairs of studs at $1.20 each. Haha. Cheapo me! And we went to More than Words where I bought 2 packets of pencils and 1 Post-it pad with cute Winnie the Pooh on the cover at 3 for $2. HAHA! Super cheap!

And we went into Cotton On twice. So most of the day we were at Lot 1, we were actually in Cotton On. The coloured flats are at a cheap price of $7.50 per pair, but that's only for those COLOURED flats which are difficult to match, colours like pink, yellow and blue. Bene and I agreed (which we rarely come to terms on) that the gemstone shoes are nice, but it's $19.95. Probably if I sell like 4 pieces of clothes from my blogshop next week, I'd buy that. :)

And I saw this clutch which has waves design and costs $19.95 too and I like it VERY MUCH too. But then again, I would usually carry umbrellas because my mum refused to bring umbrellas for us as aid even if it really rains and Bene NEVER brings umbrella, so my bags are usually big. Point it, I don't carry clutch. Haha. Then I went to try some shorts, which I thought I'd be able to fit in UK8 or 10, but I couldn't. Wait wait. It's not that they are too small, but rather, they're too big. Denim shorts are nicely tattered but they cost a bloody $49.95. Shit. Money's never enough. Haha, apparently, we stayed long enough for me to memorise some of the prices of the clothes.

Then Bene walked round and round, stopping by exceptionally long at the 50% off section, and in the end, the sizes are weirdly labelled, for he could fit a M size when he's usually a XL. Then, we decided that they probably labelled wrongly and that the piece which he really love was a little yellowish and not worth buying. But he managed to get two pieces of top after trying quite a few.

Then I ls again. Stomach hasn't been feeling well and I guess I will go and see a doctor if the problem still persists. So glad that my tution kid cancelled lesson. That's partly because somebody psycho-ed me into waiting until 5pm to go to the kid's house and we were out for such a long time and I didn't bring my books out because I planned to go home and so I ended up with nothing to do. But somebody said he would accompany me and I decided to heed his advice so that I could save some transportation costs. So we went to drink coffeee and because he was the one who started playing so I spilt yuan-yang on him. =P

Shifting my blogshop over to blogspot does help a little. But I can't understand why people want to do swappings, like barter trading, changing their goods for mine. Is the second hand market really in demand? I don't exactly see Cash Converter thrive so I would presume that most people like me do not prefer second hand stuffs. Not that I abhor second hand stuffs, just dislike the idea of other people wanting to swap your brand new stuffs for their second hand stuffs.

It's their mentality that turns me off. They set the prices according to their valuation and I set my prices according to mine. However, some blogshops deliberately jerk up their prices such that their goods will be worth more than actual, for the sake of misleading swappers or buyers. Some of their second hand goods are even more expensive than my brand, new instocks. For god's sake, those goods are not even branded goods.

To all the xiao mei meis, remember the business ethics...
